U.S. national security adviser John Bolton on Saturday called a series of short-range missile tests by North Korea earlier this month a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and said sanctions must be kept in place.
Bolton said that North Korea on May 4 and 9 tested short-range ballistic missiles, ending a pause in launches that began in late 2017. The tests are seen as a way of pressuring Washington to compromise without actually causing the negotiations to collapse. In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, the North Korean spokesman accused the U.S. of deliberately causing February's collapse of talks between Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un by making unilateral and impossible demands. The North has also strongly protested the recent U.S. seizure of a North Korean cargo ship that was involved in banned coal exports and demanded its immediate return.
Bolton acknowledged the U.S. has not been"hearing much from North Korea" since the Hanoi summit. The U.S. special envoy to North Korea, Stephen Biegun,"can't wait to talk to his North Korean counterpart but they haven't responded," he said, adding that Biegun was"ready at any point to get on a plane and go anywhere."
Let’s not get hyper! Be level headed about this. .. Everyone! ✋
He is correct
Ya think?
Welcome to the nuclear war.
Since when did this administration care what the UN thought?
There's no way North Korea violated anything! Are you forgetting the love letters Kim sent Don?
Pobre Kim joung un a de estar emproblemado
This swamp creature is just another one of trump associate with the wrong message trying so hard to think he is right on everything. In reality he's nothing more than a piece of crap that needs to be sewar flushed like trump and republicans.
Now they want the UN to do something? Idiots!
So Trump isn’t the great deal maker!
BOLTON THREATENS A UN OFFICIAL. You have 24 hours to leave the organization, and if you don’t comply with this decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you. We know where your kids live. You have two sons in New York. Now he is talking UN resolutions.
The same John Bolton, the controversial U.S. ambassador to the UN who once suggested the organization would be no worse off if you blew up the top ten floors of its headquarters.
Thought our stable genius said there would be no more missile testing done by north Korea? You think Kim played the great deal maker? Sure looks that way to the rest of the world.
Here we go again
He just wants to start a war with someone! 🤬
NK isn’t a part of the UN
What a brilliant man. Thank you Captain Obvious!
Really? Did you clear this 'revelation' with your cult leader? According to realDonaldTrFan Korean denuclearization is imminent. Looks like he got taken...
That must be fake news ,Trump said no more nuclear threat from North Korea!!!!and I believe him😉
Shame House Democrats intentionally sabotaged meeting with NK. Cohen testimony timing was a disaster for US. Media was complicit in the possible future nuclear showdown. Disgraceful.
Hey walrus boy. I don’t think anyone cares, and no ones going to do anything about it anyway.
And, so?
But that lovely letter was supposed to stop all missile tests what happened ?
What about the Russians they basically raped the U.S. and impregnated it with the Devil.
And ...
Anyone who wears an Afghan hound on their upper lip can’t be trusted.
But what about the love affair?
LOL.
So he is picking another war
His hunger for war is unsettling and shouldn't be tolerated.
Болтон проболтался.
Time to Punish them
realDonaldTrump thank God for America and President Trump!
Bolton has violated many things as well. So call it even. Leave those people alone and they will leave you alone! Stop trying to control their country. That’s the reason they have leaders of their own!
This guy is mos def all about war.
It’s the credibility, stupid.
No realy, why don't you tell that to mr trump that sending $2 million to N Korea ,,but sending aircraft carriers & missiles launchers& 120,000 American troops to persian golf /Iran wow
Issue of alleged ship-to-ship cargo transfer btwn South and North Korea will be on the table.
Old “Bigotes” Bolton just dying for a war.
the us has a security advisor?
This guy must think we’re all idiots.
UN resolutions are only good if they fit Boltons narrative.
Haha too funny. Since when does Bolton care about UN resolutions?
The press should be required to say 'John Bolton -- architect of false WMD accusations before the invasion of Iraq -- ' as a part of any John Bolton weapons story.
As if you give a shit about the U.N.
Remembering that he has spent years justifying Israel's nonstop violations of UN resolutions, and has himself joked about blowing up the UN headquarters.
yosemite sam here doesn't have the ethos to start two wars while we deal with a criminal president
Nobody cares what Bolton has to say.
Y...
Probably right but still the worst cabinet pick in the entire executive branch
